Pain support group (PSG) facilitators helps the group to: ~ share their experiences of living with chronic pain, ~ educate the group about self-management techniques and ~ to effectively use healthcare settings.

Tasks will include;

• Hold monthly meeting
• Prepare topics of discussion for group
• Answer email queries related to the group
• Find guest speakers as required

The Pain Support Group provides an avenue for people with pain to socialise with others and reduce the isolation of chronic pain. The group meets once a month for 1.5 to 2 hours.

We are recruiting female volunteers for this role in Lismore, to operate out of Lismore Women’s Health & Resource Centre (LWHRC).

PSG Volunteers will be supported through education materials, PSG administrative forms, insurance coverage, certificate and reference (as appropriate).

PLEASE NOTE: This is a community service providing peer support, and as such, we ask no practicing health professionals or training/ studying health professionals to apply.
